On this Patriot Day, often referred to as Hero's Day, we take a moment to reflect and remember.

On this solemn day, we remember the lives lost during the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and pay tribute to the remarkable courage displayed by first responders, healthcare workers, and military personnel on that day and every day that followed.

At Emerald Coast Technical College, we take immense pride in our students and staff who serve in the military and healthcare professions—today's heroes who prioritize others, safeguard our communities, and commit their lives to service.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our ECTC heroes—your bravery, kindness, and dedication are truly appreciated.

We shall always remember.

ECTC's Practical Nursing students actively engage in a hands-on learning activity—shaving balloons—to practice and enhance their personal care skills. This creative exercise simulates the delicate process of shaving patients safely, which is an essential component of personal hygiene in healthcare settings.

By using balloons, students must apply just the right amount of pressure and maintain steady hand coordination to avoid "popping" the balloon—mirroring the caution needed when shaving a real person to prevent cuts or irritation. The exercise also emphasizes the importance of patient comfort, safety, and attention to detail.

This fun yet challenging practice allows future nurses to build confidence in their technique while reinforcing their understanding of proper patient care procedures. It’s a wonderful example of how practical, engaging experiences prepare students for real-world clinical responsibilities.
